Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 21; Dorsal soft rays (total): 25 - 29; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 24 - 26; Vertebrae: 59 - 60. Adults with 5 broad blackish bands on body (Ref. 559).
This species is found at the demersal zone and near surface over reefs and hard bottoms from intertidal zone to about 2.360 ft (719.8 m). It is preyed upon by other fishes, sea birds and marine mammals (Ref 114183).
Life cycle and mating behavior Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae
Spawns twice a year (Ref. 28499). Eggs are deposited in rock crevices and are guarded by the male who continuously fans the egg mass with his pectoral fin until hatching (Ref. 28499), which occurs after 40-45 days (Ref. 27369).
